{Guide} How to get a Moderators assistance
Or you can send a PM to a Senior Forum Moderator, or worst case direct to @MikeChannon
If this is about the moderator I think it is then I wouldn't bother - there is nothing wrong in his actions to close certain threads and keep others open. XDA is a Development site first and foremost, anything beyond that is tolerated, not a right.
Mod Note: Why region specific threads are not allowed.
As mentioned in the other thread, via pm, the sticky and above, the reasons have been explained to you.
I understand where you're coming from, since apart from 3 posts in 2012, the rest have been with regards to the UK/Ireland thread, but you need to read the sticky to know our point.
The closure of any of the region specific threads has nothing to do with my nationality, nor the devices I own.
Still have complaints? Send a pm to the Moderator Committee.

I feel the need to vent...
This thread is mainly unused.
There was a perfectly good thread running that a.cid closed that was much better suited to mine and others needs.
Why did a.cid close the s4 uk thread?
He dosnt have an s4 and hes in india.....
Mod Edit: Mind the language.

Dear Moderator
You have deleted two posts i posted today, why ??????????????

The second one which i really dont understand was relating to the Alpha Rev team that made the achievement of unlocking the desire S via a software they released
Cool story bro (do a search and you will see you made two duplicate threads)

It's not hard at all. Questions belong in the general section, development belongs in the dev section. Before making a new thread, spend a few minutes researching the question you have. If you can't find an answer AFTER searching, then make a new thread, in the CORRECT section.
99 out of 100 times I can find the answer to any question via Google. Hell, I even learned how the birds and the bees work thanks to Google. Jk.
WorldWide 60's answer was helpful and respectful but smx11's was a complete fail. What a poor sense of community this person has!

Radlouni I can understand frustration when you do not understand why you are being treated a certain way. Your last post of personal attacks is just uncalled for as was the post you were responding to. In the future I suggest that you PM the Mod that you have an issue with. This thread is not productive and not in the spirit of what XDA is all about which is advancing in mobile technology. I am closing this thread if you or anyone else has an issue with this please PM me directly.

Like everyone else says. Your threads where deleted because
A-Bounties are not allowed, I have already stated this multiple times and posted that any new threads about such things would be deleted.
and
B-Again, there was already a thread posted about the Desire S being unlocked so yours was redundant.
Please read the stickies and use the search function.

I am not trying to be a jerk here, just letting you know. Others might not be so nice about it in the future, and if a mod sees this your thread(s) will be closed, or deleted.

I reported it to our Mod a little earlier.
Yes we are strict, we have to be in order to keep XDA running.
I am closing this thread down, continue this discussion in this thread pls.
Do not flame or attack other users, consider this a warning, a friendly message should be enough in most cases. If you see anyone not doing so, please report his post and let me deal with it.
Thanks.
Would there be any way to have a special membership level in the forum privileges that allows posting in the dev forums, this would force people I.E. general users with questions to read and discover the Q&A forums. To get said privileges someone should simply have to request and agree not to break those rules. Good idea?

No. Bad idea.
The Dev forums should be locked to anyone who doesn't have special status on XDA (e.g. Devs, RCs, RTs etc). For a 'normal' user to be able to post in the Dev forum they should have to be invited and approved by the Devs - and that right could be rescinded at any time.
That would have the secondary benefit of stopping the people who continually post useless cr4p just to get their post count up to 10

I agree... To a point, the problem is to get RD ir RC you have to post guides or dev work... Which normally should go in the development section.
It really is a hard one and nothing will ever please all

I'm not so sure that an invite system would be neccesary... just have a simple I agree site that gives access to the dev forums and the halfwits who go through that just to post where they shouldn't could then be banned and do everyone in these forums a favor!

Umm, if you would propose that everyone who doesnt post in the correct section should be banned, then OP, you are kinda
stepping on your own feet...
As this thread belongs in About XDA...
As stated before, there doesn't seem to be a "one rule pleases all" compromise...

Well, for RC, you don't *necessarily* need to create threads, and that too, in the dev section...
Afaik, guides belong to the general section, but there are also accepted in the dev section if it is directly related to development, or is there to prevent non-dev posts in dev area...

Yeah I can appreciate your sentiment but it's not a workable solution. Honestly I don't even think there's a problem, the mods are on their game and the 10 post rule helped weed out some people.

Actually, there must be something to keep them out of OT too, as n00bs come there frequently to increase their post count. I told two of them off today and I got ripped off for being a "party pooper". Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother.

I just think if its important enough to keep the dev posts clean that they will lock them and then we get all the posts *****ing about misposts (worse then the mispost itself) then why not try something a little more locked down... why would a user like myself need access to post in a dev forum for?

If you had frequent SODs you could up a logcat, it's very basic stuff and could potentially help the dev out.
Good ideas are always good, and i frequent the HD2 and Galaxy Nexus forums quite a bit, 2 of the busier dev forums, and don't really see problems with this.

Bite me. One of the virtues of this forum is supposed to be that they actively encourage people to search before posting.
But please, encourage laziness and stupidity, it's awesome. Everyone loves reading 1100 page threads where 900 of those pages are questions that were already answered.

And that is partly what the report button is for ............thread moving........the user is notified that it is the wrong section by PM and most likely they will learn from the mistake.
People would learn a lot faster by that instead of smart comments by wanna be moderators, not speaking of you in general, you are very helpful.

I would think that commenting to the OP, and reporting it would be the most effective. Otherwise the OP might not realize why it was moved (do they get notified if their thread is moved and why? I actually don't know).
Not that it has to be a "smart comment", but just to tell the person why its wrong. Like seeing someone drive the wrong way down a one-way street: Its just better for them and everyone around them, if you tell them what they are doing is wrong. It doesn't make you a wannabe cop.

When a moderator moves a thread the op does get an automated email and recently there was a change so that we can ad a comment to the pm sent as well like
"Your thread was moved to Q&A please post in the appropriate section in the future"

Bud, it isn't 'trolling' to point out that you are supposed to try to find the answers and solve your issues yourself before posting.
This is a long-standing principle on XDA - which unfortunately for some reason seems to be getting lost on new members - and for a 'senior member' like yourself, you should know better.
You could have easily answered your own question - but instead you posted, unnecessarily cluttering the thread. And, on top of that, you are hardly in a position to accuse anyone of being condescending or trolling based on your last reply.

*Sigh* This is what XDA has become, apparently - a place for people to post basic questions like this instead of just figuring things out themselves, or Googling the answer...

Affirmative, XDA has become a place where everybody, even noobs, get support by others - that's the spirit of XDA besides that XDA still remains a platform by developers for developers. Are you a developer? I see you're a long time member, something that is highly appreciated, and I hope you continue to stay for many years.
Certainly, we require our members to first search prior to posting but even I get so many pop-ups after a search that are confusing that I just tolorate any serious post and question. Doesn't now more than 11 million registered members prove that this is the right way?
I hope we, you and all can find a compromise and agree: If you don't like a post, simply ignore it unless the post violates the rules but in such a case only report the post without any reply and comment and let us do our "job". Consider to add the author of the post to your ignore list. Accept that it's the threadowner's privilege to assess if a post is cluttering his thread or has to be removed as off-topic.
Thanks for listening to me and your cooperation!

I use them together so they change every time you tap or unlock the screen.
Hope you like them.
